Same Item Turn for Changing Quest Globals - Need Help

[ChaosSlayer]

hmm could you try this - use the FIRST code sample, but replace "elseif"s with regular "if"s

if it works the way i understand it, it should produce chain leveling reaction =)

Actually, I tried that first and it had the same effect as the elsif's, which was no effect.

Try adding $max_level=undef; in the script at the end.

won't this reset the variable every time script runs?

Why even use the globals in this case seems to be overkill?


a simple if level 70 and you turn in the item the npc does a #level 71
if level 71 and you turn in the items the npc does #level 72
etc etc

dont feel like writing it up but you get the idea.

yeah I was thinking the same thing, but still it is educational to know why the code won't work anyway.

btw I consulted the popular "credit card" code, and it indeed uses things such as $max_level=undef; after each adjustment statement.

I do not uderstand the processing logic behind it, but apperently this is how it supose to work

Actually, in my real quest scripts, I do have:

{
$max_level=undef;
}

I only cut out the main part I was working on. I added in the sub EVENT_ITEM part before posting it.

The reason I want globals for this is mainly for my de-level quests. My server has quests to de-level characters to any level they want. Since my server's max level is 70, the quested levels have to be remembered so people can return to their previous level if it is higher than level 70. If I don't use globals on this quest, I will just have to use them on both different types of de-level quests (one is permanent and one is temporary). I figured I might as well define them here if possible.

Also, in reply to Mattmeck; I have a feeling that if qglobals doesn't work when turning in 1 item and having multiple different requirements for the same hand in, I am willing to bet that checking for character level would have the same problem. I will test it tonight. But, I think the issue is with the item check, and it won't let it be checked again for the other IFs. Actually, maybe it is the plugin. Maybe I can try it without it, but those plugins are handy.
